The herbal medicine of peasant doctors and women fills the garden

Chapter 132 The Poison of Oxtail Grass (3)
"Sister, I'm here to help the manager or not to help the relatives!" Liu Mei looked at her younger brother like this, annoyed and funny, "Okay, don't make trouble anymore, and listen to Sister Shanbao to finish." After training her brother, Liu Mei Mei turned to look at Yao Shanbao, "Sister Shanbao's question is related to Xiangzhou's condition?"

Yao Shanbao nodded: "When I came to the mansion two days ago, at the request of the eldest young master, I also took the pulse of the second young master. At that time, I found that his pulse was very strange, as if there was nothing there, as if it would disappear at any time. But just now, I took the pulse of the second young master again, and found that it is much better than a few days ago, and the second young master's complexion is also better than usual, from the looks of it, it seems that his body is just a little weak and nothing serious."

"What's going on? You mean, it has something to do with serving Xiangzhou Zhehua?" Liu Mei's eyes gradually widened, and she couldn't believe it. "Someone wants to harm Xiangzhou? Who is so courageous!"

"It must be Liu Xiangsheng!" When Liu Xiangzhou heard that someone wanted to harm him, he was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed. Fake benevolence and hypocrisy, and do some unconscionable collusion behind the scenes! Humph, none of them is not a cunning and cunning businessman! Hurry up to the yamen and inform Detective Zhuo to arrest him and lock him up with the second uncle! Oh! By the way, maybe the father and mother were also murdered by him!"

"Shut up!" Liu Mei roared at Liu Xiangzhou, her beautiful eyebrows frowned, "Xiangzhou, don't talk nonsense, your parents were killed by your second uncle and have nothing to do with Xiangsheng! You will never be allowed to do this again Unobtrusive, do you hear me?"

Liu Xiangzhou got angry, lifted the quilt, buried his head, and stopped moving.

"Xiangzhou?" Seeing that her brother was angry, Liu Mei went over to coax her again, "Okay, it's my sister who was wrong. Just now, my sister's tone was a bit bad. My sister apologized to you. Stop covering yourself, just now Shanbao said, You can't stay in the room all the time, you have to go out and walk around more. If you keep boring yourself like this, I don't think I need to take you out for a stroll. "

This trick worked really well, Liu Xiangzhou poked his head out all at once, his dark eyes dangling, but he just refused to look at his sister.

Liu Mei stood up and said, "Ziju, you come in to serve the second young master. Baimei, you follow me out."

Zi Ju heard the sound and walked over, while Bai Mei followed behind Liu Mei and Yao Shanbao with her head lowered, and walked out slowly.

Out of the yard, Liu Meifang asked Yao Shanbao with respect: "Shanbao, if you think something is wrong, you can tell me. I want to see who dares to harm my younger brother!"

It was almost dusk, and the scenery in the garden of Liu Mansion was very beautiful. A row of big trees were planted beside a big lake.It's early summer, the evening wind blows, and the hair flutters with the wind.

Yao Shanbao put the blown hair behind his ears, before he said: "I have been studying medical books for the past two days, and I saw a kind of herbal medicine in the book. If a normal person takes this herbal medicine for a long time, his body will become weaker day by day. , in the long run, you will lose your life.”

Liu Mei was shocked: "Then Xiangzhou..."

Yao Shanbao said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the second young master's current situation has improved slightly. I think, if I go back and study it, there shouldn't be any big problems." He frowned, and said quietly, "Second young master has been working for a long time. What I take is a herb called oxtail. This herb is shaped like an oxtail. It usually grows in swamps. It is rare. According to medical books, oxtail is a good medicine. It can strengthen the body if it is used sparingly, but if it is taken for a long time , it will be counterproductive. This kind of medicine is mild in nature, even if it is poisonous, it will die slowly in sleep and will not cause pain. Of course, if you have never seen or are not familiar with this herbal medicine, you will not It was found out. People who died of poisonous oxtails were just like ordinary people who died of illnesses. I think that Dr. Fang didn’t find out the cause of the disease a few days ago because he didn’t know about oxtails before.”

"Then what should we do now?" Liu Mei let go, and she also knew in her heart that the most important thing at this moment is to keep Xiangzhou from touching such poisonous weeds, instead of arguing to find the murderer.

Yao Shanbao said: "Sister-in-law, this is just my guess, I can't be sure yet." Turning to Baimei, "Baimei, who is responsible for decocting the herbs after Zhehua leaves?"

"After Zhehua left, Ziju and I took turns decocting the medicine for the second master." Baimei replied truthfully, "Oh, by the way, the night before yesterday, the second young master didn't want to drink the medicine, so he lost his temper and threw the earthen pot where the medicine was made before. It was broken. Later we replaced it with a new decoction pot, but..."

"But what..." Yao Shanbao and Liu Mei blurted out almost at the same time.

Baimei struggled and said: "However, during the period, Xirui said that she came to see the second young master once at the order of the young master, and asked a few words when she saw that our medicine jar had been changed. I told her all of them, and then Aunt Jin also personally I took a look and said that it is better to use the old one for the decoction pot. The new one is not good. I said I will change it tomorrow. Oh, this happened this morning. I haven't had time to tell you say."

"Aunt Jin?" Liu Mei murmured, raised her eyebrows, and said, "If she comes later and wants to change, you can change it, I still have something to say to Miss Yao, you go down first."

"Yes, that servant is going to serve the second young master with Ziju." Baimei replied, leaned over and retreated.

"Wait!" Liu Mei called out, "Don't tell anyone what we said here today, you know?"

"Yes, the servant girl knows. If the eldest lady won't let me tell, I won't tell, and I won't even tell Sister Ziju." Baimei smiled quietly, then turned around and was about to run when Yao Shanbao stopped her again.

Yao Shanbao said: "Baimei, are the fragments of the medicine jar broken by the second young master still there?"

Baimei nodded: "Yes, the servant hasn't thrown it away yet. Does Miss Yao need it? If necessary, the servant will find it for you."

Yao Shanbao nodded and said, "When you're looking for it, don't make a fuss, try to hide it as much as possible, I'll get it later."

Baimei agreed, and then retreated.

Liu Mei looked at Baimei's figure going away until she disappeared, Liu Meifang asked: "Shanbao, tell me, could it be Aunt Jin who wants to harm Xiangzhou?"

Yao Shanbao shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know." Seemingly thinking of something, he asked again, "By the way, sister-in-law, how many years has Aunt Jin stayed in Liu's Mansion? I heard that she is the eldest young master's nanny, presumably her child As big as the young master, why doesn't her child take her home to take care of her?"

There was a long stone bench beside the lake. Liu Mei took Yao Shanbao's hand and motioned for her to sit down and talk together.

After the two sat down, Liu Meifang said: "My surname is not Liu. Mr. Liu is not my real father. My mother is Mr. Liu's successor. I came in with my mother. When I came to Liu's mansion, Aunt Jin Already, at that time, Xiangsheng's mother passed away, and he was always taken care of by Aunt Jin. In fact, Aunt Jin was very beautiful when she was young. At that time, I was young and ignorant, so I thought Aunt Jin was Xiangsheng's biological mother."
